Madis Tolentino says she was driving in her BMW Wednesday when she was clipped by another driver who was speeding. She lost control of the vehicle and ended up under the big rig.

Her car was dragged under the truck for about a half-mile. When it finally came to a stop, other drivers ran to her aid.

Police told Tolentino her car may have saved her life.

"He told me that I was very lucky — 'Had you been driving a different car a little lower than a BMW, you would have most likely gone under the rig and the rig would have gone over you,'" she recalled to Inside Edition.
